Asianish Podcast

Have you started your New Year's Resolution to get active and lose weight? This week, the Asianish Podcast are talking with Ashley Wong, certified fitness trainer and nutritionist, about how to train and focus with closures of gyms and being stuck at home during COVID. Ashley tells us about growing up as half Chinese and half Caucasian, how she got into fitness, and debunks some of the fitness/workout myths and trends that are out there in the market. This is a podcast hosted by Asians who have been told they are kind of Asian, but not really. Asianish.

In this week's episode of Asianish Podcast, Clinton and Wayne share their 2021 resolutions and goals, discuss about the controversy of Uncle Roger (Nigel Ng) in deleting videos to appease cancel culture, celebrate a Montreal Chinese chef that went viral with an honest menu, and reflect on the prejudice towards perceived Asian influencers. It's 2021; let's not focus on the negative and learn to not let anything live rent free in your mind.

On the first Asianish Podcast episode for 2021, we interviewed Navreet Dhaliwhal, a musician-turned-marketing-and-PR-specialist living in Vancouver,  to find out about her life growing up as a South Asian with passion for playing music and supporting the local music scene. Listen as Navreet tells us why it's important to support your local arts and culture during COVID, who are the hot artists to listen to, and why dating as a brown girl who enjoys craft beer and live music is so difficult.  Navreet is known for her creative vision and drive. Instead of forcing herself to choose between music and business/marketing, she has found unique ways to blend her talents by helping creatives understand the monetary value of their craft. Navreet is co-founder of music PR company Face the Music Entertainment, Co-Founder of DSTNCE Media, and freelance photographer and digital media artist.  New episodes of Asianish Podcast are released every Tuesday.
